They were designed to be universal and understood in every language, but the true meaning of emojis seems to baffle most users.

Now, Apple has released four sticker packs for beta testers, which feature animated emojis that instantly and clearly convey the correct emotion.

These apps also give developers the ability to create their own grinning faces, pointing fingers and beating hearts using Apple's API, which is part of Messages redesign of iOS 10.

Apple has released four sticker packs for beta testers in the App Store that features animated emojis that instantly and clearly convey these small pictographs' meanings. The apps also give developers the ability to create their own grinning faces, pointing fingers and beating hearts

WHAT ARE THE FOUR STICKER PACKS?

Smiley: Features a variety of the familiar yellow-faced emoji found in the current mobile software.

However, they will 'show' exactly what emotion they mean to convey once sent to another user.

Hands: Includes a variety of hand gestures made by a hand fitted with a white glove

Hearts: Contains 10 emojis and shows different animations with hearts.

Classic Mac: Has 8-bit icons that were inspired by classic Apple computers.

This pack also comes with a magnifying glass and cursor emojis and was originally designed by Susan Kare in the 1980s.

These new apps can be accessed through the redesigned iMessage app of iOS 10.

These new emoji packs, Hands, Hearts, and Smileys, are similar to the current emojis but have animated effects that take a page from those on Facebook and Snapchat and are available to a select group in the App Store.

Hands includes a variety of hand gestures made by a hand fitted with a white glove, Hearts contains 10 emojis and shows different animations with hearts and the Smileys features a variety of the familiar yellow-faced emoji.

Each of the faces conveys its correct emotion and seems to help those who have mistakenly used the triumphant face to show they're in a huff choose the right emoji in the fall.

And all three of sets should look very familiar to Apple Watch users, reports 9to5Mac.

The fourth category, Classic Mac, comes with 8-bit icons that were inspired by classic Apple computers.

This pack comes with a magnifying glass and cursor emojis and was originally designed by Susan Kare in the 1980s.

Although not too impressive, it brings users back to Apple's early days and technology.

Users can 'peel' and place all of the stickers around chat bubbles, on images or even double up on other stickers.

These new apps can be accessed through the redesigned iMessage app of iOS 10 and if you are a beta tester it can be found in the App Store icon -- will be included in the new mobile operating system release this fall.

The tech Giant first announced animated emojis at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference that was held last month in San Francisco when it revealed its plans for iOS 10 – the 'biggest every update' for iPhone and iPad software.

'iOS 10 is our biggest release ever, with delightful new ways to express yourself in Messages, a native app for Home automation, and beautifully redesigned apps for Music, Maps, and News that are more intuitive and more powerful, making everything you love about your iPhone and iPad even better,' said Craig Federighi, Apple's senior vice president of Software Engineering.

'iOS 10 adds Siri intelligence into QuickType and Photos, automates your home with the new Home app and opens up Siri, Maps, Phone and Messages to developers — while increasing security and privacy with powerful technologies like Differential Privacy.'

Although there were many new areas of Apple's technology that was discussed during the demo, the tech firm put a lot of focus, and new features, into its Message app.

WHAT WILL IOS 10 HAVE TO OFFER?

Personal & Expressive Messages: Messages includes powerful animations, such as balloons, confetti or fireworks that can take over an entire screen to celebrate a special occasion, invisible ink to send a message only revealed after a friend swipes over it, and for added personalization, handwritten notes.

Siri Opens to Developers: Developers can build on the intelligence Siri offers and let users interact directly with apps using just their voice.

SiriKit helps developers easily design their apps to work with Siri for messaging, phone calls, photo search, ride booking, personal payments and workouts, or use Siri to control CarPlay apps.

Redesigned Maps: Now open to developers with new extensions, apps like OpenTable can integrate bookings right into Maps, and services like Uber and Lyft can make it easier for users to book a ride, without ever leaving the Maps app.

Memories in Photos: Memories scans all your photos and videos and finds favorite and forgotten events, trips and people, and presents them in a beautiful collection.

A Memory also contains the Memory Movie, an automatically edited movie with theme music, titles and cinematic transitions.

Home App for Simpler Home Automation: Accessories can be managed individually or grouped into scenes so they work together with a single command and can be controlled by using Siri.

They can be managed remotely or set up for home automation with Apple TV®, and can respond with automatic triggers set by time of day, location or action.

Messages will include powerful animations, such as balloons, confetti and fireworks that take up the entire screen to really express the celebration. But if you want to share something and keep it more low key, Apple has added invisible ink that only reveals the message after the receiver swipes their finger across the message.

There are bubble effects that transform how the bubble reacts in the chat transcript - -again to really get your point across.

There is also a feature that allows handwritten notes and another one that lets users share digital touch videos.

The fourth category, Classic Mac (p, comes with 8-bit icons that were inspired by classic Apple computers. This pack comes with a magnifying glass and cursor emojis and was originally designed by Susan Kare in the 1980s

These short snippets lets users choose a picture and draw an interactive picture or message across, and there are numerous vibrant stickers to choose from.

All of these new features might put an end to the miscommunication that has always surrounded text message.

In addition to new effects, users can send emoji even faster with Messages automatic suggestions.
